First Five Days of Fun!

Now that we have all of our consents back, we are able to post pictures of some of the great things that have been happening in our classroom.  We have been getting to know each other and exploring different materials and places in our classroom.  We are learning how to work together as a whole class, in small groups, with partners and also on our own.  The students are showing me what they already know about writing, reading, math and science.  We have been having a lot of fun along the way!  It's going to be a great year!

                                            Sharing information about ourselves.

                                            Exploring our classroom library and filling our
                                             Independent reading bags.                                      

                                       
                                             Playing math games with a partner.  Greater than
                                             Or Less Than War was a big hit with the class!
Traveling with a group to find examples of different animals and plants! 

Sharing our 'All About Me' bags to learn more about each other.

                                     Playing games with partners to find out our favorites!
                                   Learning how to use the 'Listening Center' to enjoy stories during
                                    'Literacy/Reading Centers'.
                           


                                          Reading big books during Literacy/Reading Centers!
                                             Partner Reading during Literacy/Reading Centers!
                                          Word Building during Literacy/Reading Centers.
                                           Good readers recognize these words in a 'snap'.
                                        Good grade 2/3 writers can spell these words correctly!
                                         Creating our first Art project - Name Spirals!
